Three Reasons to Get a Crawlspace Inspection

In this article, we will focus on our crawlspace inspection services and share a few reasons why it’s important to look at this part of the property.

  1. Check for Foundation Issues – One reason why we encourage you to schedule a crawlspace inspection is because this part of the home is very close to the foundation, and problems in one often reveal problems in the other. Our team will carefully examine your crawlspace and foundation to make sure they are in good condition—and if we find any issues, we’ll let you know right away.
  1. Check for Pests – Another reason to get a crawlspace inspection is because this area is a common site of pest infestations. The last thing you want is to move into your new home only to find it infested with vermin, so our team will thoroughly check the area for pest activity first.
  1. Check for Moisture Problems – A third reason to schedule a crawlspace inspection is to check for common moisture issues. This area of the home is prone to moisture issues because water vapor rises up from the soil and collects here. Our team will alert you to any such problems right away so you can take steps to correct them.
